Retro: Xochimilco Ecopark
Drive about an hour into Mexico City, and you’ll come across the beautiful Xochimilco Ecopark. Actually, we just went again this past March, and I was a little sad. What had been a somewhat “wild” overgrown place was now very developed. Yes, developed as a park – it’s still beautiful, but to my taste it […]

Hey Jim…
I agree, it sounds like you handled this really well… but overall, that’s just plain creepy. Hopefully your ability to “call them on it” will keep them from getting more bold in their opportunism.
I wonder what the spanish is for “shenanigans”…? : )
